                                            int error,

DESCRIPTION         top

       The sd_bus_message_new_method_error() function creates a new bus
       message object that is an error reply to the call message, and
       returns it in the m output parameter. The error information from
       error e is appended: the name field of e is used as the error
       identifier in the reply header (for example an error name such as
       "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported" or the equivalent
       symbolic SD_BUS_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED), and the message field is
       set as the human readable error message string if present. The
       error e must have the name field set, see sd_bus_error_is_set(3).

       The sd_bus_message_new_method_errorf() function creates an error
       reply similarly to sd_bus_message_new_method_error(), but instead
       of a ready error structure, it takes an error identifier string
       name, plus a printf(3) format string format and corresponding
       arguments. An error reply is sent with the error identifier name
       and the formatted string as the message.  name and format must
       not be NULL.

       The sd_bus_message_new_method_errno() function creates an error
       reply similarly to sd_bus_message_new_method_error(), but in
       addition to the error structure p, it takes an errno(3) error
       value in parameter error. If the error p is set (see
       sd_bus_error_is_set(3)), it is used in the reply. Otherwise,
       error is translated to an error identifier and used to create a
       new error structure using sd_bus_error_set_errno(3) and that is
       used in the reply. (If error is zero, no error is actually set,
       and an error reply with no information is created.)

       The sd_bus_message_new_method_errnof() function creates an error
       reply similarly to sd_bus_message_new_method_error(). It takes an
       errno(3) error value in parameter error, plus a printf(3) format
       string format and corresponding arguments.  "%m" may be used in
       the format string to refer to the error string corresponding to
       the specified errno code. The error message is initialized using
       the error identifier generated from error and the formatted
       string. (If error is zero, no error is actually set, and an error
       reply with no information is created.)

RETURN VALUE         top

       These functions return 0 if the error reply was successfully
       created, and a negative errno-style error code otherwise.

   Errors
       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

       -EINVAL
           The call message call or the output parameter m are NULL.

           Message call is not a method call message.

           The error e parameter to sd_bus_message_new_method_error() is
           not set, see sd_bus_error_is_set(3).

       -EPERM
           Message call has been sealed.

       -ENOTCONN
           The bus to which message call is attached is not connected.

       -ENOMEM
           Memory allocation failed.

NOTES         top

       Functions described here are available as a shared library, which
       can be compiled against and linked to with the
       libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.

       The code described here uses getenv(3), which is declared to be
       not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the
       functions described here must not call setenv(3) from a parallel
       thread. It is recommended to only do calls to setenv() from an
       early phase of the program when no other threads have been
       started.
